Givenchy Le Rouge "201 Rose Taffetas"

Givenchy Le Rouge "201 Rose Taffetas" -- I recently did another review on "Rose Dentelle", which sadly did not work out for me; the color was too dark, so I decided to trade it in for another color; "201 Rose Taffetas", which did not work out for me either.

Like I mentioned on my previous post, I just could not find the right color in this formula. Neither of these shades looked right on my skintone. Rose Taffetas looks too orange and bright. All of the rose shades seem to have an orange/coral cast to them that I don't particularly care for.

I love the semi-matte formula, so I am hoping that Givenchy will come out with more neutral/rose/pink shades in the future. You win some, you lose some. Oh well.

Givenchy Le Rouge "201 Rose Taffetas" -- With flash...You can see how coral/orange it looks on me, meh!!

Givenchy Le Rouge "201 Rose Taffetas" -- Now, here without flash it looks totally different; more of a deeper-rose however, in person it does not look that way. I know, kinda weird. Also, make sure you have smooth/exfoliated lips before wearing this lipstick (obviously, I did not do that here), LOL ;)

I love Estee Lauder's Double Wear, SIP Lip liners! I currently own "01 Pink", "03 Tawny" and "13 Tearose", which is a sample I received in a GWP. These lip liners go on very smoothly and they don't tug and they really do "stay in place", and are long-wearing. The Pink shade looks lovely with a sheer gloss and the Tawny is very versatile and can be worn with pinks and nudes and the "Tearose" is my fave right now; it's a gorgeous deep-toned rose with mauvey shimmer in it. Love, love! <3

I have been driving myself nuts lately, experimenting with different foundations. My HG has been Laura Mercier's Mineral Powder (and always keep in my collection). Many times, while in ULTA or Sephora, I would glance at the Becca counter, but never really tried her products. I was interested in the Ultimate Coverage Complexion Creme, so one day, decided to take a gamble on it. I chose the shade "Noisette", which is a neutral-medium shade. The other two shades for medium skintone is "Nude" (medium w/yellow) and "Olive", which is a deeper yellow tone -- too deep for my skin, but would be great if you have a tan. I tried the "Nude", which is fine for me, but a bit too much on the yellow side. I have found that "Noisette" is perfect for me because it has a balance of yellow and neutral tones. I have to say, Becca has beautiful foundations and it's very easy to find a shade that works for you. Now, onto the formula. I really h…
